Step-by-step explanation:
the process is shown in the picture.
the blank is 162
since 81 and 81 are both perfect squares the middle term (blank) will be the product of their roots times 2
√81=9
√81 =9
9 x 9 x 2
= 162
So they tell you to let x represent the cost of Deandra's sofa. So since Selena's sofa costs 30 dollars LESS than HALF the cost of Deandra's, we know we have to divide by 2 and subtract 30.
The equation would be x/2-30. (B)
Hm, D would equal either 5 or 6.
